[. . . ] NEVER STORE SPRAY CANS CONTAINING FLAMMABLE GASES INSIDE THE APPLIANCE. THE USE OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES (SUCH AS ICE-CREAM MAKERS OR WHISKS) INSIDE THE APPLIANCE IS FORBIDDEN. NEVER LEAN ON THE APPLIANCE'S SHELVES AND DRAWERS OR USE THEM AS STEPS. THE APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR USE BY ADULTS KEEP CHILDREN AT A SAFE DISTANCE AND NEVER ALLOW THEM TO PLAY WITH IT. 22 Instructions for the Installer 4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Always place the wine cellar in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the wine cellar can be used in different temperature conditions: Class SN (Subnormal) N (Normal) ST (Subtropical) T (Tropical) Ambient temperature from +10° C to +32° C from +16° C to +32° C from + 18° C to +38° C from + 18° C to + 43° C Never place the wine cellar close to heat sources unless strictly necessary. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems. To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the wine cellar must not be placed too close to the wall. Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the back of the appliance and the wall. If the wine cellar is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm. Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. 4. 1 Positioning and levelling the appliance Place the wine cellar on a firm, level surface. You can now move on to set the temperature you require. 8. 2 Setting the temperature The default temperature at which the thermostat is set is 15°C. If you wish to change this, simply proceed as follows: - Press button for a few seconds until the figure shown on the display starts to flash; - use buttons and to set the temperature value you require; - about 5 seconds after the last key is pressed, the display stops flashing and the chosen temperature remains set. Depending on whether the temperature set is higher or lower than the current temperature inside the cellar, the appliance will start to heat up or cool down and the LEDs or . In two-section cellars, the two compartments are independent and two different temperatures can be set following the procedure described above. 8. 4. 3 Red wines The serving temperature for red wines depends on a great deal of factors, but in view of their higher tannin and lower acidity than whites, they are usually served at higher temperatures. Young red wines with low tannin are usually served between 14° and 16°C, while for more full-bodied types 16°C or in exceptional cases even 18°C may be recommended. Young, red wines with low tannin and a fairly uncomplicated structure can be served at between 12°C and 14°C without tasting too sharp, and will still be very pleasant. This rule certainly applies to "nouveau" wines, made by a special method which reduces their tannin content; they can be appreciated to the full at cooler temperatures than other red wines. 28 Instructions for the User 8. 4. 4 Sparkling wines In view of large number of types of sparkling wines on the market, there would be little sense in laying down one rule to fit them all. Sweet, aromatic white sparkling wines can be served at a temperature as low as 8°C; their aromatic nature means they are excellent at low temperatures. Sweet red sparkling wines such as Brachetto may be served at temperatures between 10°C and 12°C; here again, the more aromatic sparkling wines are suitable for lower temperatures, even down to 8°C, while those with a slightly higher tannin content require temperatures as high as 14°C. Dry sparkling wines made by the "Charmat method" or "Martinotti method", such as some Prosecco wines, can be served at temperatures between 8°C and 10°C. [. . . ] Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells. If you are to be away for some time, it is best to switch the wine cellar off. 10. 4 Operating noises The wine cellar is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the wine cellar, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. [. . . ]
